Sweet Potato Cake

If you are a regular reader here you know that I had bumper sweet potato harvest last year. I've canned sweet potatoes and given away sweet potatoes yet still have lots.

My mother had this great sweet potato cake recipe that she cut from a magazine back in the 70's I think. Over the years she made a few adjustments such as adding buttermilk for the liquid. She made it her own. The only problem was that this rascal takes 7 eggs. With lots of dark and dreary winter days eggs were somewhat a premium in my larder. Thank goodness I had some frozen in the freezer to get me through. But eggs are an issue no more as the ladies have come through for me in true Hickery Holler form. I am virtually swimming in eggs. So with 6 dozen eggs in the fridge I splurged and made this cake.

That looks so good. My husband and grandson (22 years old) are so very picky they would never eat something like that. Of course if you saw me you know I a not a picky type of person. :) Eat an extra fork or two for me please.

I've found that if you just dont tell people what some ingredients are, they'll eat just about anything.. I had a picky step-son till I refused to make corndogs and pizzas every day.. He eats and loves almost anything these days.

That cake looks like heaven. Im definitely gonna give it a try sometime in the late spring. Thanks so much for sharing it.

That looks so very delicious! Thanks for posting this recipe and the delicious looking pictures! Wow! We got the snow, didn't we? We live between Columbia and Sedalia and I couldn't believe it when I actually walked outside. Seeing it from inside just doesn't do it justice!

Your chicken & noodles the other day inspired me to make chicken & dumplings tonight!

OMG.....I am a pound cake baker I tried your recipe and got rave reviews. This recipe is definitely a keeper. I will be making it again for the holidays. Thanks so much for sharing. I am definitely going to try your pie recipe as well.
